  1. Maxmind GeoIP Warning Emails

    in Using Revive Adserver

    Posted

    I am not using GeoIP for my ads, and do not have an account or license for the GeoIP plugin, but I am receiving the following warning from Maxmind. Is there anything I need to do, or that Revive needs to do, regarding this warning?

     

    Hi, 

    We’re still seeing outdated API requests from your account (ID 23XXXX) that are using an incorrect endpoint. 

    Going forward, we will only accept: 

    • API requests sent with the more secure HTTPS protocol.
    • API requests sent to the appropriate hostname. 

    Click the links below to view a list of valid API hostnames for each service. 

  8. loading=lazy gained 3-4 points in Pagespeed Insights

    in Performance, Scalability, and Reliability

    Thank you for sharing!! Just to clarify, on line 3436 I added this:

    $imageTag = "$clickTag<img src='".htmlspecialchars($imageUrl, ENT_QUOTES)."' width='$width' height='$height' alt='$alt' title='$alt' loading='lazy' border='0'$imgStatus />$clickTagEnd";

    Revive coders...are you listening? This is an extremely simple solution to speeding up serving banners with your software, can you please add this to the source code?

     

  9. Is the asycronous ad loading script working properly?

    in Performance, Scalability, and Reliability

    Posted

    I've noticed two things when I use the asyncjs.php script to load multiple banners per page on my site that make me question whether or not the async code is doing what it should be doing:

    1) If I remove "async" from the script tag, so this: 
    <script src="/adserv/www/delivery/asyncjs.php"></script>
    instead of this:
    <script async src="/adserv/www/delivery/asyncjs.php"></script>
    I get faster page speed scores from Google. There is no comparison, at least 10% faster. Why?

    2) Google penalizes me for not lazy loading my banner ads with async loading. I thought that if you load something async, everything else on the page will load without delay, and the async loaded content will load simultaneously and not slow anything down. The fact that I'm getting a 1.5 second penalty from Google about not lazy loading my ad banners tells me that perhaps the async script is not functioning as designed. 

    Any help would be appreciated!

  12. Backdoor left by hackers after previous 4.x install has been highjacked...

    in Using Revive Adserver

    Any word from Revive on this??? Just ignore it and it the issue will go away, right?

    Thank you for sharing this. I was just reading about a widespread exploit against Revive, but can't find anything here from them, only from individual users who've had the issue. It seems like Revive should be publishing methods for finding such exploits, since they left the hole in the software that caused this.

  14. How to Detect Malware in Revive Ad Server Installation

    in Managing Revive Adserver

    Posted

    After reading this article it made my wonder if my installation in infected with malware, and if so, how can I detect it?

    To me it seems like you should have alerted anyone running your software of this problem, and sent out tips for how to find an infected installation, and repair it, but, it's not me running your business.

    Please share how to search for a compromised installation and disinfect it.

  15. Problem with direct selection click tracking after upgrade to 5.2.0

    in Managing Revive Adserver

    Posted · Edited by scott001

    Update, I am able to get the link to at least function with the changes below, but notice the destination URL is very different from what is generated by the zone. In the code above generated by the zone, the link does not work:

    <!--  MySite.com Advertising No Cookie Image Tag - Generated with Revive Adserver v5.2.0 -->
    <a href='https://www. MySite.com/adserv/www/delivery/cl.php?zoneid=397&campaignid=1131&bannerid=2539' target='external'><img src='https://www. MySite.com/adserv/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=397&amp;source= MySite.com&amp;target=_blank&amp;cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE' border='0' alt='Gluten-Free Mall' /></a>

  16. Problem with direct selection click tracking after upgrade to 5.2.0

    After the same upgrade my click tracking and links used in my eNewsletter no longer work. I re-created a tag which looks like this:


    <!--  MySite.com Advertising No Cookie Image Tag - Generated with Revive Adserver v5.2.0 -->
    <a href='http://www. MySite.com/adserv/www/delivery/cl.php?zoneid=397' target='_blank'><img src='http://www. MySite.com/adserv/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=397&amp;source= MySite.com&amp;target=_blank' border='0' alt='' /></a>

     

    However, the link does not function, even though it is correctly set up for the banner selected for this zone.

  22. Subdomain Not Working for Delivery Engine URL (SSL)

    in Managing Revive Adserver

    Posted · Edited by scott001

    When I change the Delivery Engine URL (SSL) to the subdomain ads.mydomain.com the banners stop displaying. I can only get this setting working when it is www.mydomain.com.

    Normally this would make me think that the subdomain isn't set up properly, but it is, as I use it to server other content on the site (for example Google Analytics). I also mentioned that I am using the subdomain to server the asyncjs.php script in the site template, and I am using it as the Image Store URL (SSL) setting. So, the subdomain is set up, working, and there is nothing in my .htaccess, site security policy, or anywhere else on the server side that seems to be causing this issue.

    I will take another look at the troubleshooting guide, but I did look at it last time I brought this issue up, and saw nothing that would explain this.

  23. Subdomain Not Working for Delivery Engine URL (SSL)

    in Managing Revive Adserver

    Posted

    I brought this up once before, and I still cannot solve this issue.

    I would like to change the setting for "Delivery Engine URL (SSL)" to a subdomain, for example ads.mydomain.com. But when I do this the ads do not show. It only works using www.mydomain.com.

    This is strange because I can change the "Image Store URL (SSL)" setting to ads.mydomain.com, and it works fine.

    I can also use this path in my site's template, and it works fine:
    <script async src="https://ads.mydomain.com/adserv/www/delivery/asyncjs.php"></script>

    There is nothing in my .htaccess or site security policy that won't allow this to work.

    Any ideas?
